these respondents to provide this 

information to EPA, as doing so could 

ensure that the market price of RINs 

appropriately reflects the value of their 

cellulosic biofuel. This information also 

serves a more general program purpose, 

because it will assist EPA in setting the 

annual RFS2 standard more accurately. 

We estimate that approximately 35 

parties would choose to participate in 

this voluntary information collection. 

The format for submitting the 

production outlook information to EPA 

would follow the ‘‘RFS2 Production 

Outlook Form, Report Form ID: 

RFS0900.’’ Collection of reports from 

regulated parties is covered under the 

RFS2 ICR, OMB Control No. 2060–0640 

(Expiration Date July 31, 2013). A copy 

of the RFS0900 form may be viewed at 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/ 

rfs0900.pdf (instructions to form) and 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/ 

rfs0900.xls (form). 

We are requesting that the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approve this ICR and that it be effective 

three years after approval. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4 hours per 

respondent and 4 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by a 

person to generate, maintain, retain, or 

disclose or provide information to (or 

for) a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information; to process and maintain 

information; to disclose and provide 

information; to adjust the existing ways 

to comply with any previously 

applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; to train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

to search data sources; to complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and to transmit or otherwise disclose 

the information. We anticipate 35 

respondents, submitting one response 

each. 

The draft supporting statement, which 

has been placed in the public docket, 

contains detailed estimates for this 

proposed ICR. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

This is a proposed, new, voluntary 

information collection. All the estimates 

provided above, and in the supporting 

statement (which has been placed in the 

public docket) are for a new and 

voluntary collection of information. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the

Pursuant to section 3506(c) (2) (A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act, EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility;

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection.

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are diesel 

refiners, importers, and distributors. 

Title: Alternative Affirmative Defense 

Requirements for Ultra-Low Sulfur 

Diesel Fuel. 

ICR numbers: OMB Control Number 

2060–0639; EPA ICR No. 2364.03. 

ICR status: This is a proposal to renew 

an existing ICR. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in Title 

40 of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: With this information 

collection request (ICR) renewal, we are 

seeking permission to continue to 

accept reports from refiners, importers, 

and distributors regarding noncomplying sulfur test results. 

Specifically, the highway diesel 

program regulations require most motor 

vehicle (highway) diesel fuel sold at 

retail stations to contain 15 parts per 

million (ppm) sulfur or less (hereafter 

referred to as ultra low sulfur diesel 

fuel, or ULSD) beginning October, 2006. 

Where a violation of the 15 ppm sulfur 

standard is identified at a retail outlet, 

the retailer responsible for dispensing 

the noncompliant fuel is deemed liable, 

as well as the refiner(s), importer(s) and 

distributor(s) of such fuel. The highway 

diesel regulations further provide, 

however, that any person deemed liable 

can rebut this presumption by 

establishing an affirmative defense that 

includes, among other things, showing 

that it conducted a quality assurance 

sampling and testing program as 

prescribed by the regulations. This ICR 

covers burdens and costs associated 

with the provision that allows refiners 

and importers of ULSD an alternative 

means of meeting the affirmative 

defense requirements in the diesel 

sulfur regulations by participating in a 

nationwide diesel fuel sampling and 

testing program. The reporting burden 

covered by this proposed ICR related to 

reports that refiners, importers and 

distributors, have to submit in the event 

they have a non-complying sulfur test 

result. (See 40 CFR 80.613.) The 

authority citation for the direct final 

rule and the association information 

collection is for the following Clean Air 

Act sections: 42 United States Code 

§§ 7414, 7542, 7545, and 7601(a). 

We are requesting that the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) renew 

this ICR and that it be effective three 

years after approval. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 16 hours per 

respondent and 16 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by a 

person to generate, maintain, retain, or 

disclose or provide information to (or 

for) a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information; to process and maintain 

information; to disclose and provide 

information; to adjust the existing ways 

to comply with any previously 

applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; to train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

to search data sources; to complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and to transmit or otherwise disclose 

the information. We anticipate 20 

respondents, submitting one response 

each. 

The draft supporting statement, which 

has been placed in the public docket, 

contains detailed estimates for this 

proposed ICR. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

This is a proposed renewal of an 

existing information collection. The 

estimates have not changed from the last 

approval. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
